The Washington Post's Magazine recently featured Judge Patricia Wald and Jodie Bernstein for their many accomplishments in: Three audacious women before audacious was in (03/2015).

On Senior Fellow Jodie Bernstein:

• "She was the first woman to serve as general counsel of the Environmental Protection Agency and, afterward, as general counsel of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare (now Health and Human Services), where she oversaw all the lawyers who worked for the Food and Drug Administration and the Health Care Finance Administration. She was the first woman director of the Bureau of Consumer Protection at the Federal Trade Commission. She also chaired the Commission on Wartime Relocation and Internment of Civilians, which spurred the government to pay reparations to Japanese Americans interned during World War II."

On former Council member Judge Patricia Wald:

• "She was the first woman appointed to the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, the second most-powerful court in the country, and ultimately became chief judge. After leaving the bench, she served as the U.S. representative to the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia, on the Commission on the Intelligence Capabilities of the United States Regarding Weapons of Mass Destruction, and on the Council of the Administrative Conference of the United States, which reviews federal legal actions, to name a few."
